Featured Print of the Day - My Agave

My Agave

Several years ago, I had a painting entitled Agave that was stolen from me by a frame shop owner.  I wrote about the experience here in my blog.  I always liked that painting, so I decided to paint a similar one.  This one is not for sale because I would like to keep it for myself.  This is one of my favorite plants to paint and my favorite color combination.

Featured Print of the Day - Sunlit Agave

Sunlit Agave

I've wanted to paint this agave for a long time. It is based on a photograph I took close to sunset. I liked how the sun just barely touched the tips of the leaves. I love the naturally abstract shapes of agave and cacti, which is why I enjoy painting them so much.

Featured Print of the Day - Rosette

Rosette

This is an acrylic painting of an agave plant.  I wanted to do something a bit different than my brightly colored paintings by capturing the muted grays in this plant.  There are all sorts of color combinations in this painting - yellows, reds, browns, greens, blues, purples, as well as black and white.

Featured Print of the Day - Agave II

Agave II

Desert plant life has appealed to me as a subject matter for a long time. The different varieties of cactus, agave and yucca all have such interesting and unique shapes and are some of my favorites to paint. I found this agave near Old Town in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

A Painting Just for Me

Agave

Several years ago, I had some paintings stolen from me by a frame shop owner.  Click here to read the entire story here on my blog.  I always hoped that my paintings would find their way back to me, but that has never happened.  One of my favorites was entitled Agave.  It was painted in acrylics and measured 24"h x 20"w.  It was inspired by another agave painting I had done back in college.  That one was painted in oils and measured 36"h x 30"w.  I loved it and hung it in my home for years.  However, cracks developed in the painting over the years due to inexpensive materials that I had used as a student.

So, I painted Agave in 2002.  Unfortunately, at the time, I did not take digital photos of my art.  What was I thinking?  So, the picture here was scanned from a photo the frame shop had used in an ad.  It's not a good photograph, but it's all I have.  The new painting will be the same size, 24"h x 20"w and painted in acrylics on canvas.

I did paint a similar one a few years after that entitled Agave II.  But I've always missed the first one, so I've decided to recreate the same painting.  It will be just for me and I will title it My Agave.  The original will not be for sale, but I will have reproductions available for purchase.  I will share it here and in my email newsletter.
